AFCON 2024: Nigeria & Egypt – Qualification Outlook

Continuation of the CAN Round of 16. It’s Nigeria and Egypt’s turn to begin their knockout phase.

South Africa 1 – 2 Cameroon

Just like two years ago, Ademola Lookman is having an outstanding CAN. In just two matches played, the Atalanta Bergamo forward has already been involved in as many goals (two goals, two assists) as in the last edition, where he reached the final.

Against a surprising Mozambique team, which is experiencing this stage of the competition for the first time in its history, the Super Eagles star will need to shine to prevent an embarrassing exit for his team.

Moreover, if he scores or provides an assist, the Nigerian forward would once again be the most decisive player in the competition ahead of Brahim Diaz and his four goals.

It’s a major blow for Morocco. Walid Regragui has confirmed that Azzedine Ounahi is out for the rest of the CAN due to a severe calf injury.
